D-RiboseD-RIBOSE isn't just for athletes; it's for those of all ages seeking to improve energy levels and stamina. How? ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the biochemical energy of life. A very special sugar known as D-Ribose is right in the middle of this cellular power production. There is not a lot of D-Ribose available in the human diet. This means the body must rely on the amounts synthesized by the cells. While every cell in the body has the ability to produce it, the metabolic pathway used in ribose synthesis is slow and rate limited, which means, it struggles to keep pace with additional needs in times of metabolic stress. The body's inability to produce sufficient D-Ribose limits the amount of vital ATP available for energy, which restricts the formation of important cellular compounds and delays tissue recovery, so it pays to supplement with the real thing. Although ribose is a sugar, it is not at all like other sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose. Ribose is metabolized in a different way; it travels a pathway that does not affect blood glucose or fat storage levels. Instead the body saves ribose for important duties making cell energy substrates. Carotec's D-Ribose provides 150 grams of D-Ribose per jar.
Suggested use: 1-3 ½ tsp. per day in water, juice or other beverage, 1 or 2 x's per day with food or before exercise. Or as recommended by a physician.
